Former employee says gun licensing division denies permits based on minor violations

[Cavalier Knight]

The New York City Police Department’s gun licensing division according to a former employee with knowledge of the office pulled back on the number of carry permits the division issues and found more reasons to deny applicants their gun permits.

Following the eruption of a bribery and corruption scandal in the gun licensing division of the city that first surfaced two years ago, five individuals, including now former NYPD officers and a city official have been charged with fast-tracking New York City gun licenses for certain applicants through bribery schemes.

“So now, it’s really swung the pendulum swung the other way, and in a bad way, because now I’m hearing hardly anybody is getting approved for a carry. Hardly anybody,” the source told The Daily Caller. “If anything, they’re getting [limited carrys], if at all, anything.”
